Although none of the kings present were willing to hand over the command of the allied army to the Great Qin Kingdom, they had no reason to oppose the Great Qin Marshal. Unless they were unwilling to join the allied army and left the eight-nation alliance.
Now that the Assassins Association was closing in on them, the situation was urgent. If they were to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance, there was no doubt that they would be annexed by the Assassins Association. They would lose all their sovereignty and become a vassal state of the Assassins Association, or even a slave state.
All of the kings present knew this, so they didn't suggest leaving the alliance.
Even the Great Zhou King, who had the most confidence, didn't stand out to object. After all, their Great Zhou Marshal was only at the peak of Level 7 King Wu. No matter if it was in terms of strength or commanding ability, he couldn't compare to the Great Qin Marshal.
The Great Qin King seemed to know what the kings were thinking, so he patted his chest and promised, "Everyone, please don't worry. Now that we are facing a great enemy, we are all in the same boat. We should help each other and work together."
"I, the Great Qin King, swear to the heavens that I will destroy the Assassination Guild. I will not use the allied army for my own selfish reasons."
The kings looked at each other. Although they knew that the Great Qin King would say one thing and do another, they could only accept it.
"Does anyone have any objections?" The Great Qin King looked at all of the kings present.
Seeing that all the kings were about to acquiesce, the youngest king suddenly spoke up. "I have an objection."
As soon as Lin Yun finished his words, the entire place turned silent.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone looked at Lin Yun in shock.
The Great Qin King's gaze finally fell on Lin Yun.
From the start of the meeting, this young man had been sitting in his seat, silently listening to the Great Qin King and the other kings' discussion. He didn't say anything, so everyone ignored his existence.
Only when he suddenly spoke did everyone remember his existence.
"Southern Summer King, do you have any objections?" The Great Qin King looked at Lin Yun with interest, as if he was curious about where Lin Yun's confidence came from.
After all, the other six kings had already agreed, and even the Great Zhou King didn't have any objections. What kind of confidence did his country, which had almost been destroyed, have to raise an objection here?
The other Kings also looked at Lin Yun mockingly, thinking that this young man was still too young. His words and actions were completely thoughtless, and he was not suited to be a King of a Kingdom.
Under everyone's strange gazes, Lin Yun expressionlessly said, "In terms of geographical location, Southern Summer is the frontline of the Eight Kingdoms. It is the first place to confront the Assassination Society."
"As for the frontline fortress in the north of Southern Summer, it's a treasure land that's easy to defend and hard to attack. It's the most suitable place for the allied forces to station here."
"This location is only a few hundred miles away from the Southern Summer King City. Our Southern Summer King can immediately obtain all the intelligence of the allied forces on the battlefield and give the most accurate instructions. "
"Thus, it's more convenient for our Southern Summer King to directly command the allied forces than the Great Qin Kingdom's Marshal to command from afar."
Hearing Lin Yun's reason, the Great Qin King disdainfully laughed coldly, "Your words are indeed very reasonable, but can your Southern Summer King Kingdom find someone who has the ability to command the allied forces?"
After speaking, the Great Qin King looked at the other Kings present and asked, "Does anyone in the Southern Summer Kingdom think that there's someone who can command the allied forces?"
The Kings all shook their heads, evidently not believing that there was such a person in the Southern Summer Kingdom.
"I can command the allied forces," Lin Yun said expressionlessly.
After Lin Yun finished speaking, the entire place was silent for two seconds.
Everyone looked at Lin Yun with a strange gaze, as if they were looking at a brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"What ability do you have to command the allied forces?" the Great Qin King asked with interest.
Lin Yun replied calmly, "Whether it's strength or strategy, I can do either."
Lin Yun's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant. However, he didn't seem to be joking at all.
After hearing Lin Yun's words, all of the Kings present burst into laughter. Their laughter was filled with unconcealable disdain.
They evidently didn't believe that a brat who was still wet behind his ears had the ability to command the allied forces.
Seeing this, the Country Guarding Lord, who was behind Lin Yun, immediately said, "If the Great Qin King doesn't believe in my King's ability, you can have someone compete with my King."
The Great Qin King raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Haha, it seems that the Southern Summer King is quite confident in his abilities. Since that's the case, I'll have my Great Qin's people compete with the Southern Summer King."
Seeing this, the Country Guarding Lord immediately said, "If my King wins the competition, it means that my King has the ability to command the allied forces. Does the Great Qin King have any objections to this?"
Hearing the Country Guarding Lord's words, the Great Qin King's expression changed slightly. However, after thinking about it again, his expression immediately softened, "If the Southern Summer King really has this ability, I can hand the allied forces over to him without worry."
From the Great Qin King's point of view, no matter how much of a genius a brat like Lin Yun was, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat the Great Qin's people.
"Alright, I believe that the Great Qin King's words carry enormous weight and you definitely won't go back on them," the Country Guarding Lord said with a smile. He was very confident in Lin Yun's ability.
Whether it was Wen Tao or Wu Lue, he didn't think that Lin Yun would lose. Even if he went up against the Great Qin Marshals, he still had enough confidence in Lin Yun. This wasn't just because of the boundless power displayed by Lin Yun's main martial soul, but also because Lin Yun had saved the Southern Summer Kingdom from a crisis.
After the Great Qin King agreed, the competition was quickly decided.
"The allied forces have great numbers, and their strategic importance is great. The commander of the allied forces must have outstanding strategies. I'll let my Great Qin's Ministers compete with the Southern Summer King in strategies, "the Great Qin King said confidently. Evidently, he was very confident in the Great Qin King's Ministers.
After the Great Qin King finished speaking, a white-haired old man walked out from an unremarkable corner and cupped his fists towards Lin Yun, saying, "I am the Great Qin Kingdom's Minister of Rites, Han Tianyu. I have the honor of competing with the Southern Summer King in chess and strategy."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, two guards carried a chessboard into the main hall.
"Chess and strategy?" The corners of Lin Yun's mouth slightly rose, revealing a cold smile. Following this, he expressionlessly walked to the chessboard.
